This interview is part of a special series of the Teaching Canada's History podcast where we spoke with the finalists for the 2019 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Bridget Wright’s students engaged in a series of activities to facilitate their understanding of history. After examining important moments in Canadian history, students were tasked with creating a museum exhibit focused around a core question. As a final component, students created family trees, which allowed them to link historic concepts with their personal connections.
